MWDI Provides a Unique Educational
Experience

MWDI's field activities and focus are especially well suited to deliver a unique
educational experience if we can develop and package it
appropriately. Learning components can be quite diverse encompassing
box building, field installation / habitat study, nest monitoring
and overall wetland experiences, various types of research,
journalism and other external affairs activities.

We have a "product" that should appeal to all age groups available in all
seasons in large and small packages. We can customize educational
projects to meet anyone's needs or niche. With time, we hope to have
much to report in this regard if our theme, "A Total Wetland
Experience" is to have real meaning.

We are seeking to identify all educational programs in Maryland where wood
ducks are involved and where other wildlife/wetland education
programs may be suited to incorporate a wood duck component. We will
recognize these programs in due course to increase awareness and to
facilitate new program creation.
